Disclaimer: SPOILERS AHEAD
Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna and starring Aamir Khan, Genelia Deshmukh and a bunch of other wonderful actors is now playing in theatres. The movie revolves around basketball coach Gulshan, who is ordered to train a group of specially-abled children for the National Basketball Championship after he is found to be guilty in a drunk and drive case. Now that the premise of the film is clear, Pinkvilla is here to explain the movie's ending
Climax Of Sitaare Zameen Par Explained
The climax is set during the National Basketball Championship finals. Gulshan, who wasn't keen on coaching kids who need special attention, has trained his team of autistic children for four months. They've worked hard and reached the finals. Everyone believes they'll win the trophy. The match is super tight. Both teams play equally well, keeping the audience on edge.
With just 20 seconds left, Gulshan's team needs one basket to win. Kareem (Samvit Desai), a key player, has been practicing a stylish trick shot for months. Instead of going for a simple shot to secure the win, Kareem tries his fancy move. Sadly, he misses. The clock runs out, and Gulshan's team loses. They finish second.
You'd expect the team to be heartbroken, but something beautiful happens. While Gulshan feels disappointed, the kids are celebrating with the winning team. A confused Gulshan asks one of the players about why they're happy despite losing. The child answers that they have 'won' the second place. This moment hits hard. The kids don't see the loss as failure. They're proud of their achievement.
In a heartwarming scene, Gulshan's team even guides the winners to the podium and congratulates them. The lesson of sportsmanship is taught to Gulshan by his own team.

During the wedding, we learn Sunita (Genelia Deshmukh) is pregnant with Gulshan's child. Gulshan, who never wanted kids, has changed over the four months. Training these children showed him what was missing in his life. He realizes that life is about love, connection, and growth.
As the story wraps up, it's time for Gulshan to leave. After four months of bonding with the kids, he can't bear to say goodbye. He plans to sneak away without showing up on the last day. The kids wonder too if their coach will come to bid farewell. In an emotional twist, Gulshan does show up. The farewell is emotional. The bond between Gulshan and his team is clear. Hugs, tears, and smiles fill the scene as they bid eachother goodbye.

Sitaare Zameen Par ends with a powerful message. No one is specially-abled. Everyone is just finding their own normal. The film shows that winning isn't always about trophies. It's about growth, acceptance, and celebrating every step forward. The kids' joy in coming second teaches us to find happiness in every moment.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Day 1: Aamir Khan's Film Opens At Rs 8.87 Crore
Last Updated: Sitaare Zameen Par: While Laal Singh Chaddha had opened with Rs 11.7 cr on day 1, it remains to be seen whether Sitaare Zameen Par will surpass that figure by the end of the day. Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1: Aamir Khan's much-awaited comeback film, Sitaare Zameen Par, finally hit theatres on Friday, and early box office figures suggest a modest start. As per the latest update on the film managed to earn Rs 8.87 crore by 8 pm on its opening day. While expectations were high given Aamir's return to the big screen after Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), the start has been slightly underwhelming, especially when compared to his past hits. The film saw an overall 17.73% Hindi occupancy on Friday, with morning shows reporting a 16.74% turnout. The numbers stayed largely consistent for the afternoon (16.25%) and picked up a bit during the evening with 20.21%. While Laal Singh Chaddha had opened with Rs 11.7 crore on day one, it remains to be seen whether Sitaare Zameen Par will surpass that figure by the end of the day. Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par is being marketed as a spiritual sequel to the 2007 blockbuster Taare Zameen Par, which also starred Aamir Khan in a pivotal role. This time around, the actor plays a basketball coach, guiding a team of children with learning disabilities toward self-worth and victory. The film is an official remake of the Spanish film Campeones. The sports drama introduces 10 new faces including Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. An excerpt from the review reads, 'Sitaare Zameen Par is a celebration of neurodiversity, makes a strong statement about inclusivity, breaks down stigmas surrounding it, and makes you think about what 'the other kind of normal' is." The review also highlights that Aamir has no intention of releasing the film on streaming platforms anytime soon, signaling his continued faith in theatrical experiences. The coming days will be crucial for the film's performance. Word of mouth and weekend footfalls could make or break its run. For now, Sitaare Zameen Par has opened with a humble figure, and all eyes are on whether Aamir's charm will pull in stronger numbers ahead. First Published:

Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection day 1 early estimate: Aamir Khan's film crosses Taare Zameen Par's opening figures
Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection day 1 early estimate: Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza's much-awaited film Sitaare Zameen Par finally hit theatres on June 20. After opening to positive reviews from critics and the audience, the movie is off to a decent start at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk's early estimates, Sitaare Zameen Par has collected around Rs. 8.77 crore India net on its first day in all languages. A spiritual sequel of Aamir Khan's 2007 hit film Taare Zameen Par, the film had a theatre occupancy of 17.73% in Hindi on Friday, with morning shows at 16.74%, afternoon shows at 16.25%, and evening shows standing at 20.21%. The highest occupancy was in the Jaipur region at 29.33 %. ALSO READ | Salman Khan's bodyguard pushes Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan aside during Sitaare Zameen Par screening, actor tells security to… Sitaare Zameen Par has fallen short of expectations, as it was predicted to earn around Rs 30 crore on day 1. However, the film may gain momentum over the opening weekend due to positive word of mouth, following a trajectory similar to Taare Zameen Par. The 2007 drama collected Rs 2.62 crore on its opening day, but it ultimately became a box office hit. An excerpt from SCREEN's Sitaare Zameen Par review read, 'This film wouldn't have worked as well as it does if Aamir hadn't been fully committed to putting himself out there as a hero-who-is-a-jerk, letting us walk past the annoyingly noble Lal Singh Chadha character which never hit any of its marks. This is a film whose express intention is to normalise 'everyone's normal'. It doesn't shy away from being message-y –sab ka apna apna normal hota hai—but it is not, praise be, preachy.' Directed by RS Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Sitaare Zameen Par also features 10 debutant actors – Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.
